At three o clock, Sakura bid farewell to her coworkers and ran outside and right into Alfred's arms by accident.
"Alfie!" she exclaimed, hugging him.
He smiled and hugged her, "Hey, Sunshine. How was work?"
Sakura sighed, "Boring…"
Alfred laughed and said quietly, "I missed you…"
Sakura smiled, "I missed you too. Come on, I'm starved! Let's go eat!"
She raced Alfred to his car and jumped in the driver's side. Alfred laughed and helped her out.
"You're not 16 yet…" he scolded jokingly.
"I know. But, I will be! This summer!" Sakura said, "And you'll teach me how to drive, right?"
Alfred ruffled her hair, "Yea. Why not?"
"Yes!" she said, pumping her fist in the air.
Alfred chuckled and Sakura reached over and turned on Alfred's car radio. She listened to the song that was playing and smiled.
"Hey! You actually listen to the CD I made you?" Sakura asked, smiling.
"Yea. Every day." Alfred responded, "I love it." Just like I love you…
Since she couldn't give him a hug, Sakura lightly pecked Alfred's cheek, "You're so sweet, Alfie."
"So, where do you want to go to eat?" Alfred asked.
Sakura tapped her chin, "Um… I don't know… Which place costs the most? My aunt and uncle will be paying, hehehe."
Alfred laughed, "I don't think they have burgers in Japan…"
"Then let's get sushi!" Sakura said excitedly and pointed Alfred to the local sushi restaurant.
They sat across from each other, talking, eating and laughing all at the same time. Sakura almost died laughing when Alfred asked her where the forks were.
"Alfie, you eat sushi with chopsticks." Sakura said.
"Ooooooh I see…" Alfred said, picking up the white paper that held the chopsticks in it.
Sakura laughed, "Oh, Alfie, I love you…"
Alfred blushed, "Wh-What?"
Sakura blinked, "What do you mean what? I love you as a friend, goofy."
Alfred looked at the table quietly for a moment, "Oh… Okay…"
He then focused on opening his chopsticks while an amused Sakura watched, trying to use her own chopsticks correctly. They both ended up eating with their hands and laughing at Sakura because her sushi kept falling apart as she was eating it. She glared playfully at Alfred and shoved some of her sushi in his mouth. He laughed. Sakura felt like someone was watching her nearby. She looked over Alfred's shoulder, harder than it looked for her, and saw two familiar figures. The one that was facing her had blonde hair and blue eyes. When he noticed Sakura, the boy waved. Sakura sweatdropped and noticed the second person turn around. His black hair and brown eyes were familiar enough for Sakura to nod to them before Alfred poked her nose. She giggled and they started to poke each other, laughing. Kyouya watched them, his scowl becoming more prominent. Why is this bothering me? I don't care… But really, do I? He stood up and ran his fingers though his hair. Tamaki looked at him childishly and Kyouya rolled his eyes. He walked past Sakura and Alfred, leaving a note at Sakura's elbow. Alfred glared at Kyouya as he walked by. Kyouya ignored him initially, but thought very differently. He better stay away from her… They both thought the same thing. Sakura opened up the note left at her elbow in confusion.
Sakura,
Meet me by the clocktower tonight at 6 o clock
-Kyouya Ootori
Sakura frowned. She wasn't too fond of people telling her what to do, but, she decided she might as well see what he wanted. She shook her head and looked up at Alfred, who was going from glaring at Kyouya to looking kind of jealous. Sakura furrowed her eyebrows and put her hand on Alfred's to get his attention.
"Alfie?" she asked quietly.
Alfred looked at her, his face softening, "Yea?"
"You okay?" she asked, smiling sadly.
"Yea." Alfred sighed. Why can't she see that I love her?
"Ready to go?" Sakura asked, trying to lighten Alfred's seemingly bad mood.
Alfred shook his head, as if to shake off his bad mood because it was affecting Sakura, "Sure! Let's go."
Sakura jumped up and grabbed Alfred's hand, dragging him to the car. On the way home, she fell asleep on his shoulder. When they arrived at her aunt and uncle's apartment building, Alfred noticed she was asleep. He smiled and gently unbuckled her seatbelt and carried her bridal style to the elevator, where several people questioned him if she was his wife. He shook his head but didn't say anything. Once he got the both of them to the penthouse, he gently placed her in his bed. He brushed the stray hairs out of her face and watched her sleep peacefully. He kissed her forehead and smiled.
"Sleep well, watashi no tenshi. I love you…" Alfred said smiling and kissing her lips softly.
He got up off the side of the bed and walked into the living room. Arthur and Lita were still asleep. Man, they must have been really, really busy last night. Alfred chuckled to himself. He shook his head. He found his Ipod and put his headphones in. Just as he started to hum, Lita stumbled into the room, rubbing her eyes.
"What time is it?" she asked sleepily.
"About 5:45 pm." Alfred replied, smiling.
"Oh my god! I hafta go wake Arthur up! Oh my god, how long have we been asleep?" Lita asked.
Alfred tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Well, the sexual noises stopped around 1 in the morning and the snoring started at about 2, so about 15 hours I'd say. Arthur must have really tired you out…"
Lita blushed, "Oh my god! That's… wow…"
She then ran off, to wake Arthur up. Alfred chuckled and continued humming to himself. Around 5:45, he heard quiet yawning and saw Sakura coming down the hall, rubbing her eyes. She yawned and sat on Alfred's lap. She laid her head on his chest and sat quietly. Alfred smiled. Maybe she's not going at all. Alas, their quiet romantic moment was broken when Sakura stood up.
"I hafta do something. See you later, okay, Alfie?" Sakura asked.
"Yea. See ya…" Alfred said, not looking at her.
Sakura kissed Alfred's lips lightly, looking a little ashamed and walked out. Alfred closed his eyes tight, to prevent tears from leaking out. Couldn't she see that he loved her more than anything? Even more than hamburgers and his own independence? He felt a hand cover his and opened his eyes. Arthur was smiling sadly at him.
"If you don't tell her, you git, she'll never know…" Arthur said.
Alfred sighed, "She doesn't like me the way I like her…"
Arthur huffed frustratedly, "Either I'm blind or your just a bloody twit. She's been, how would you say it, 'putting moves on you' for the past week!"
Alfred clenched his eyes shut again, the tears starting to overflow, "You don't understand Arthur! She told me herself, 'I only like you as a friend'! Besides, you don't know what it is like to be me!"
With that, Alfred stood up and ran out the door, into the rain. Lita ran in the second the door almost slammed and caught it just in time.
"Alfred!" she called running after him.
"Bloody faggot…" Arthur muttered, tearing up himself, "I was only trying to help…"
It started to rain as Sakura managed to find her way to the clocktower. She felt really guilty. Alfred's face before she left made her want to cry. She didn't want to break his heart, but she just needed to get things straightened out with Kyouya. She ran her fingers through her damp hair. She sat under a sakura tree as it downpoured. She sighed. Hopefully, it'll just pour and not… Her thought wasn't even finished before thunder boomed and a lightning streak appeared in the sky. She dashed over to the clocktower, leaning against it.
"Fuck my life…" she muttered to herself.
